Design of features and interaction for a handheld mobile computing device
The project
(Smartphone)
Examples
Opportunity
To revisit (re-structure) the mobile phone information design.
Find a new effective pattern of design in terms of features, interaction design and visual design
To make touch screen interactivity a better experience.
Innovation.
Implementation
Constraints
The product being an application that could be used on various devices, no assumptions could be made on the device.
Limited screen-space
Time-frame
Understand mobile phones
Understand touch-screen interaction General study
Usagepatterns + ]
Research
General study
Literature study – relevant material (especially research papers published)
Case study – Palm treo 650
User study
Observing the users with touch screen smart phones to understand usage patterns specific to the design problem
Asking users (online) about mobile phones in general to understand shortcomings and usage
Inferences
Mobile communication tends to happen with people the users are more recently in contact with
Different people have different usage patterns to perform the same task.
User interface is considered the most critical factor on a mobile phone
People don't tend to remember more than a few phone numbers
Designing for small screens need not resemble design for
computers
Activities on mobile phones are generally paid lesser attention
Inferences
Using the stylus is less preferred because it involves
using both hands
The orientation for touch-screen devices is a slightly
different
Idea Generation
Deciding the information flows
Initial concepts/screens for features
Defining the product
The product (termed “Firestorm” for internal usage) will be an application/software available for Linux based handheld (touch screen) devices
The Graphic User Interface on Firestorm will be enabled using a browser(Mozilla Firefox)
Information on Firestorm will be done by tagging (automatic and user defined)
